Louisa's evil smile turned to an evil grin when Ellie started stuttering. HEH. It only proved Louisa to be right and the teenage girl to be guilty. Dun dun duunnn.

Her victory was short-lived though for someone had called on Ellie and-

:whaa:

IT'S SHIRTLESS DALLIN!

Louisa's eyes bugged out of her head and without control over her visual mind, she was staring at him. Her face slightly blushing. He stood SO close to them and waved! Louisa didn't respond to his wave instantly. She had to regain her voice and her... vision.

Then Ellie turned away from the girl blocking her view!! Well, the pitch and the people were not blocked but Dallin WAS blocked. HMPH! Still standing on the seat, the younger Ravenclaw hopped over some little Ravvies and stood on the other side of the shirtless eagle, grinning, "Hi Dallin." He looked quite good- well, more than good but she was not allowed to say it. However, she wanted to.. tease someone a bit more so.. "Looking hot today." Totally ignoring the girl on the other side of him, "You've been working out lately?"

Good thing Joao was in Slythering, far away from here.

As she glanced around the Eagle section, Vashti noticed one younger Ravenclaw who happened to have a pretty nice Ravenclaw banner over there and yet who also didn't appear quite as peppy and excited as she ought to be in Vashti's opinion anyway.

"Hey there! I like your banner!" she told her with a grin.



CUPCAKES?!

Vashti quickly looked around and spotted the one with the cupcakes almost immediately. Didn't she know this girl? She looked awfully familiar.

"Those cupcakes look amazing!" she said, raising her voice enough to be heard over the cheering crowd, trying to wave to the girl and get her to come towards her - because if Vashti had to walk aaall the way down to where the girl was, she might trip and fall in these shoes.



Ohh, a cheer!

"Awesome cheer, Indy!" Vashti said, grinning. Seriously, that ought to be made into a banner. In fact...Vashti did have some paint with her. But no extra clean paper. Hmm.



"Excellent!" Vashti said, still grinning. It was good to hear that the cheers were going great. They certainly seemed to be. Ah! Louisa had noticed her shoes. "It's easier to be noticed and heard in these shoes." She thought so, anyway.

Grinning as she heard Louisa begin cheering, Vashti bent down carefully to open her bag and start pulling out her banners for the pep rally.

Amelia lightly smacked him on the arm when he called her mean. She was not mean, she was just happy to see him.

:mellow: "Well then. I just wanted to see you." But she could always go back to her side of the stadium if he prefered.

She now took out a badger brooch and attached it to her hat.

Zayden pulled his lips down into a deep frown when she smacked him on the arm. Did you SEE how she TREATED HIM?! ... like a pet dog that did something wrong. Meh, not really but he still didn't enjoy getting smacked when he said the wrong thing to her!

"I want to see you too." He reached up since he was -- what? 3 inches short than her? -- and kissed her forehead. "I'm telling tell you to leave. I'm just saying that I'm sure people won't enjoy the fact that you're cheering for the enemies but guess what? I honestly don't care what they think."

At least, not really.

"Good..." Though she still had a bad feeling about this. "If it matters so much to you that I'm here, I can join my House." And now she was hurt. She was sure that he didn't like being seen with the only Hufflepuff on that side of the stadium. :(

Angelina stood up from her seat and yelled very loudly:

"We're never gonna stop, stop, st-st-st-stop
We'll always be on top, top, t-t-t-top,
We're serpents 'til we drop, drop, dr-dr-dr-drop,
We're always gonna win, we are Slyth-er-in!

In Quidditch, we're the best, best, b-b-b-best!
Better than all the rest, rest, r-r-r-rest!
Don't put us to the test, test, t-t-t-test,
We're always gonna win, we are Slyth-er-in!"

"GO SLYTHERIN!"

Soon the Quidditch game will be on and Slytherin or hufflepuff will win!

Zayden didn't like the vibe he was getting right now between him and Amelia. Not. At. All. He dropped his hand off her waist now and stared up at her, his lips still had remnants of the frown he was wearing previously. "Yes, it matters to me because I want you here."

Why didn't she understand that? She wasn't acting like they had just been away from each other for a few weeks because she had to go have surgery -- she wasn't. He WANTED to be with her because they had spent so many weeks apart and the main reason he had come to Hogwarts was to be with her. To BE with HER. Not to be away from the woman he loved so much.

He finally noticed the bro.. broa.. bro, what it was called, on her hat and said, "That's shiney." Very shiney.

He turned to the center of the stadium now and shouted, "SLYTHERINS ARE THE BEST!"

Amelia eyed him for a moment longer, before finally easing up again. "You sounded like you didn't want to be seen with the only Hufflepuff here." :(

But she did giggle at his comment about her brooch. "I got it at the store!" She just wished she had her scarf with her. :(

"HUFFLEPUFF'S ARE THE BEST." :angel:

Tori was liking all these shirtless guys. Yep yep. She cheered when one of them turned out to be a SLYTHERIN. ABOUT TIME. HOLLA! Then one of her Housemates asked, "Who are we?" and of course she had to reply,


"SLYTHERINS!"


Time for another round of their awesome song!


:music: "We're never gonna stop, stop, st-st-st-stop
We'll always be on top, top, t-t-t-top,
We're serpents 'til we drop, drop, dr-dr-dr-drop,
We're always gonna win, we are Slyth-er-in!

In Quidditch, we're the best, best, b-b-b-best!
Better than all the rest, rest, r-r-r-rest!
Don't put us to the test, test, t-t-t-test,
We're always gonna win, we are Slyth-er-in!" :music:

Kurumi and the rest of the Lions!
 

"Come on Gryffindor's we need to let them know who are the true winners!!"

August was really getting into this whole pep rally thing. With his chest painted with a bright golden 'N' that worked with the other Gryffindor boys' plan to spell out 'Lions' he countinued to jump up and down and shout some more.

If only they could all do something together to get some attention from the staff and maybe pull this thing in for a Gryffindor win. HE HAD IT!

"Kurumi!" He shouted at the Gryffindor Prefect over the rest of the students around them. "We need to start a wave or perhaps a roaring wave with all of the Gryffindors. I saw something like that at a Muggle soccer match once!"

LIONS! ATtEnTiOn!!
 

Kurumi was sort of afraid to open her mouth again for fear of shouting more. She had been practicing Sonorus....but had failed to practice the counter spell as well. This...could be a very good thing or a very bad thing.

Looking around the stands though, it didn't seem like she really needed to speak. Her fellow lions were rising to the occasion chanting the Gryffindor Rally Cry and, thanks to Gideon, roaring in the stands. It was nice to see that everyone was coming together like this. It made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

She then spun around and avoiding looking at his chest when August called her name.

"That's a brilliant idea!" she chrip-shouted. She really needed to figure out this counter spell before heading back to the dorms. She wasn't going to have a voice after this. Kurumi grabbed August's hand and dragged the two of them over to where the crimson and gold painted faces began. "Lions! We are going to do a wave! When August and I run in front of you, we want you to stand up and ROAR!" Wait, she had another thought, something to make this wave even more...RAWR. Merlin, she shouldn't have eaten another cookie so soon. "WAIT! When you stand up, hold your wands above your head and cast Periculum first, to send red sparks into the air. So it should look something like this."

Kurumi pretended to sit down, and then jumped up to her feet, her wand held high in the air. "Periculum!" Red sparks shot forth from her wand into the air like fireworks against the blue sky - a sky that was about to be painted red. Hehe. Once her sparks were up in the air, she held both arms above her head and her cat ears twitched and wiggled in anticipation.

"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!"

Zayden shook his head back and forth, letting his blonde hair fall onto his green forehead. "Why would I want that? I mean, Mia, you JUST got back!" Seriously, she'd have lost her lightsabers to think that he didn't want to see her! Or BE WITH HER, as a matter of fact. "I love being with the only Hufflepuff here." He'd much rather have her than his sisters. Josslyn would just annoy the heck out of him and talk about how Slytherins smell... or something along those lines.

He kissed her cheek again. "And you didn't get me anything Slytherin?"

"WOOOOOOT WOOOOOT! GO SLYTHERINS! WE'LL DESTROY YOU LIKE IRON MAN DESTROYS VILLIANS!"

HA.

Amelia shrugged now, not sure what to tell him. :| "I'm sorry. It just sounded that way." And now she felt bad for ruining things. She wrapped her arms around him again. "My Slytherin."

She blinked now at his question. "Isn't your Green Lantern ring enough?" she teased. What? It was green. :3

And now she had to think of a clever thing to say about her House. D:

Zayden looked deeply into her dark brown eyes for a second before shrugging it off. "It's fine, Mia." He wasn't going to argue about it; he DIDN'T want to argue about it. When she wrapped her arms around him again, he instantly wrapped his green arms around her to where they were in a giant bear hug. "Mm, my Miakins." He could have said Hufflepuff but he preferred Miakins over that.

He pulled away from the hug now and looked down at the Green Lantern ring that was on his finger -- the ring that use to belong to her sister that died. His best friend. "I can't argue that it isn't." The ring meant the world to him.

"SLYTHERIN! SLYTHERIN! SLYTHERIN!"

He enjoyed the chanting.

Note to self: stop being so bloody paranoid. :/

She sighed as she cuddled into him now. She really hoped that this green paint stuff wouldn't get all over her. :mellow: She wouldn't be happy if she was dyed green now.

"I got you something Slytherin though." :33 He just couldn't have it YET. ^_______^

[size=4]"HUFFLEPUFF! We're awesome like Bon Jovi!"[/b] Who was like a God. She started singing a Bon Jovi song loudly now.

Ah good; see, she didn't know why Althea seemed to be glaring daggers at Dash. She had no issues with the guy. He seemed polite enough to at least return her greeting so what more could she ask for? Even if his taste in houses wasn't the greatest, but could she blame him for wanting to show some of his old house pride?

"Never. I'm loyal to a tee. But I will say, won't you Snakes ever learn the art of fairness in getting what you want?" Obviously not. That wasn't one of their traits, but unfair behaviors would always turn out poorly in the end.

Speaking of glaring daggers, there was one who seemed to wear a perpetual scowl on her face. Which actually quite amused Fina, until she heard what the Snake Head mentioned to Dash. "Wrong about nothing, Hecate, and honestly, this was an A and B conversation," she motioned with her hand toward her and Dash. "So C your way back to the Snake pit." Maybe the exterminators will come.

Or forget the Snake Pit, more of her Badgers had arrived and they were doing quite wonderfully in keeping up some cheering!! Tasteful. But where were her prefects still? And actually, why was Kurumi the only prefect she saw from any of the houses?

When Carter retorted that he was always nice she let a genuine smile slip through her smirk. She was going to miss him terribly. He was quite the character and always made for a good time. As she finished up the front of him with red paint she looked up and commented sarcastically, "Of course you are. And don't forget you have to add charming to that list as well..."

It wasn't until she looked down that she noticed she had been branded by a Carter. She was going to take it off, but then decided against the whole thing. Eh, she was going to leave it on. What harm could it possibly do? Besides she didn't want to hurt Carter's pride by taking off of the paint. So the brand stayed.

"Yep," she smiled popping her p, "Thankfully few people ever get me worked up enough to get really mad. Its exhausting." Then she finished up the final touches on his back and nodded, "Alright, Carter, you're done." She put down her brush and started to move away when she remembered, besides the letters she had already put on him like they had worked out to spell a specific word, she had promised him a Selina print. So she ran over to the gold paint and dipped her palm in the paint.

She walked back over to him and pressed her hand against his chest so he would have a gold print of her hand, "There you go. One Selina print."



Selina was wiping the gold paint off of her hand being careful not to wipe off the Carter brand he made on her arm when her ear drums were suddenly rocked. All she heard was something about salt and Gryffindor. She wasn't exactly sure, her ears were ringing too much to distinguish anything specific.

Her eyes looked toward the source of the disrupt and it was Kurumi with a sonorus charm. "YEAH I CAN HEAR YOU!" She yelled back.

...owww....



Once Selina's ear drums had leveled out from the ringing of Kurumi's previous Sonorus charm she went about finishing up whatever guys needed last minute touches. All she had left to do now was Jai and then she could go crazy and being a jumping mascot. However, the real Gryffindor mascot, one Gideon Gert, had finally found his inner lion. While she was about to go and finish Jai she heard him roar and snapped her head to look at him.

There was something priceless about seeing him dressed as a lion and roaring. She threw back her head in laughter and grinned at him a good old fashioned lop sided grin. Brilliant. Just brilliant.

"Roar, roar GRYFFINDOR!" she yelled in his direction. But soon, like Kurumi, he amplified his voice and her ears were ringing. Oh Merlin, it was going to be one of those events. Ah well, seemed like it would be all worth it when Gryffindor pulled there stunt...



Selina saw fireworks... oooohhhh pretty. She looked around to see the culprit when it was once again Kurumi. It seemed that her timid lion sister had found her inner Gryffindor courage. She was running this now, it seemed. Of course, she was prefect. It only made sense.

So she drew her wand and waited for the wave. But she screamed as loudly as she could, "OI! YOU LOT!! WHO ARE WE FIGHTING FOR???"

Kurumi was awesome. Auggie watched and grinned as she got everyone's attention and then quickly did a run down of what they were trying to get everyone to do--what did that make Auggie the attractive assitant?

"Thanks Kurumi." he chuckled and then raised his wand into the air positioning himself at the base of the stands, the path clear infront of him.

"LET'S GO!!!!!! DO THE WAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he shouted and took off runnig through the stands.

Jai said in response,"ROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!! LET THE PRIDE ROAR!!"

He turned to Selina with a smirk and said,"Oh Selina, I think you missed a really awesome spot, me" as he turned both thumbs toward himself. His expression. He was having a lot of fun showing off his 'school spirit'. HAHA!

Ooooooooooooh!

People were getting loud. Like REALLY loud and they weren't SNAKES.:whaa: Well, THAT wasn't going to dampen his spirits. Oh no, no, no. It would take a dragon the size of California to do that.

The boy stood up on the bleachers and raised his hands. "I. Can't. Hear. YOU!" he shouted. "WHO ARE WE?!"

Yes, that was directed at ALL of you SNAKES. "COME ON! LOUD AND PROUD!" 'Cause he was PROUD!

Ira's ears were ringing! She joined the wave
"Roooooooaaaarrrrrrr!!!"
Maybe this wasn't as loud as she wanted.. So...
"Roooooooaaaarrrrrrr!!!"
she yelled in her loudest voice possible!
"Periculum" she drew out her wand and sent red sparks into the air with others... Oh! It looked amazing! "Yeah! Come on Lions!!!"

Angelina looked over at him and replied to his questions, "SLYTHERIN!"

Yes, the Slytherin's need more yelling and spirt compared to the gryffindors

Ira was jumping up and down like crazy! She definitely looked crazy with red and gold hair but it felt great! She was pleased to see that the voices of Lions were loudest! So she kept it on..

"Thats the way to go Lions! Come on!!! Louder still!" she cheered on.

Now definitely her throat was going to be hoarse for at least a week! But no problem! This was definitely more important and most exciting too!

"ROOOOOAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!
Givin it all for Red and Gold!!!"

Kita where's the link XD. Will post what I'm wearing later.
 

Alyssa came running back to the stands in her cheerleading outfit, pulling at her skirt at the same time. With Kita's assistance she had been able to transform the colors into her current House colors yellow and black, and she had to admit that it looked really nice on her, but she didn't expect to show that much leg!! Merlin! She knew that she had grown a couple of inches since she last wore the outfit back in Salem. She just hoped Professor Hadley didn't see her as she ran up the steps to the stands.

"Hey! Everyone I'm back. Look at my outfit," Alyssa twirled around showing off her suit while at the same time trying to pull down the hem of her skirt. "I know it's kinda short, but I couldn't make it any longer without ruining it. So you're going to have to bear with my bare legs...no pun intended, until the game starts." 'Thank goodness I don't have knobby knees and my legs are tanned or this would be oh so embarrassing. Merlin! The things I do for this House' Alyssa thought to herself.

Alyssa turned around, flashing more leg than intended, and started to cheer,

SINGIN'
